Ok.. I read the tutorial and it states NOT to hatch eggs when the hen has been on antibiotics. Specifically tetracycline and related drugs.
it stated that the residual drug CAN affect the development of the spine of the fetus. A percentage of incident is not listed. So I am wondering if it might be worth risking on more valuable eggs? Has anyone hatched eggs from a hen that was being treated with antibiotics with any success? My hen was not sick, but had been shipped and looked a little rough for the wear. So I gave her antibiotics as a precaution.
Thnx
